RICHARD G. BRENAOK, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

WRAPPER FOR BOTTLES OR OTHER ARTICLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters'Patent No. 494,364, dated March 28, 1893.

Application filed July 6, 1892. Serial No. 39.! N model-l .To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD G. BRENACK, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WVrappers for Bottles or other Articles, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention relates to that class of wrappers consisting of an outer sheet or cover of paper and an inner sheet or lining, of cardboard or like material heavier than the paper. Said lining is usually cut smaller than the cover, and prior to my invention it has been kept in the required position on the cover by being secured thereto, in one instance throughout its area and in another instance at one of its edges. This method of retaining the lining upon the cover is obj ectionable for the reason that in applying the wrapper to a bottle or other article, the lining draws and exerts a strain on the cover, or vice versa, with a tendency to wrinkle or tear the parts.

The general object of my invention is to hold the lining in a fixed position upon the cover of the wrapper, without permanently securing the lining thereto, and to this end it consists in providing the cover with a pocket to receive one edge of the lining, as hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I, representsa plan view of a wrapper embodying myinvention, with a portion of the pocket broken away to expose the lining therein. Fig. II represents a cross section of the wrapper. Fig. Ill represents a perspective view of the cover. Fig. IV represents a like view of the lining.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts.

The letter A, indicates the cover and B, the lining of the wrapper, and 0, indicates the pocket of the cover. The cover A, is a sheet of paper, and the lining B, a sheet of cardboard which may be embossed as in Figs. I and II, or left plain as in Fig. IV; or the lining may be composed ofa sheet of felt or other soft elastic material.

In the manufacture of my wrapper I take a sheet of paper and fold one of its edges,

described.

which should be straight, upon the body of the sheet. I then secure the two extremities C of the folded edge to the body of the sheet, as by means of glue, and leaving the intermediate portion of said edge free or detached form the pocket 0, at that point. I then cut the lining B, so that it shall fit snugly into the pocket 0, at one of its edges; and it will be apparent that when the lining is properly inserted in the pocket, it is thereby retained in a fixed position, whichin this example is central of the cover, upon the latter, so that the lining maintains a proper relation to the cover in the adjustment of thewrapper in the well known manner to the bottle or other article, without its being secured to the cover, permitting the parts to move freely upon each other so as to obviate wrinkling or tearing thereof, by strain.

The edge of the cover A, opposite the pocket 0, is usually coated with an adhesive substance, as at d, in order to facilitate the fastening of the wrapper.

It may be remarked that the pocket 0, can be formed in other ways than by folding the cover, as for example by means of a separate piece of material properly secured at the required point.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A cover for a wrapper of the character specified, composed of a sheet of paper with a pocket to receive one edge of the lining, substantially as shown and described.

2. A cover for a wrapper of the character specified, composed of a sheet of paper with one of its edges folded and secured at the extremities thereof to the body of the sheet, to form a pocket for receiving one edge of the lining, substantially as shown and described.

3. A wrapper for a bottle or other article, consisting of the combination of a cover, of paper, with the pocket at one of its edges, and the lining with one of its edges fitted into said pocket, for retaining the lining in fixed position on the cover, substantially as shown and RICHARD G. BRENAOK. Witnesses:
